PREFACE
In the introduction to his British and Irish Writers on Agriculture ,
which was first published in 1929, Walter Frank Perkins wrote:
‘This is a Bibliography of some 1,500 British and Irish writers on
the Agriculture of the United Kingdom from the earliest printed
books until, and including, the year 1900. For reasons which seemed
sufficient to me, I have laid down certain arbitrary rules of inclusion
and exclusion.’ As a result his book included works on the general
practice and improvement of agriculture 5 on agricultural chemistry,
botany and entomology; on drainage, weights and measures, and on
agricultural education and biography; and it excluded forestry,
horticulture, surveying, estate management, herd books, veterinary
science, farm architecture, and agricultural law, politics and econ-
omics. The scope of the bibliography was somewhat enlarged in the
second and third editions, published in 1932 and 1959 respectively,
and lists of anonyma and of journals and serial publications were
added.
Perkins’ own agricultural library reflects to some extent the pat-
tern of his Bibliography; the collection contains, however, numerous
works which fall within the categories he excluded, while many
books listed in British and Irish Writers on Agriculture will not be
found. The earliest imprint is 1 600, the date of the Maison Rustique
or , the Countrie Farme, by Charles Estienne and Jean Liebaut,
No. 5 77; this is a translation of a French work first published in
Paris in 1564. The earliest English work is No. 1155, Gervase
Markham’s Second Booke of the English Husbandman, printed in
1615. There are very few items in, or translated from, foreign
languages, there are few books published later than 1900, and only
thirty-five from the seventeenth century; so that the collection con-
sists mainly of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British books,
and it is in eighteenth-century material that it is perhaps richest.
All those who are interested in the ways of the husbandman and
in country customs of the past will find rewarding and little known
material in this collection. Its value to the student of agricultural,
economic and social history needs no emphasis.
As a practising farmer, a bibliophile and a man who played a part
in public life, Walter Frank Perkins constantly used and enjoyed
vii

his own books, and also supplemented them by drawing on national
collections. He was, from its inception, an enthusiastic supporter of
the movement for a national inter-library lending service. Therefore
it was not surprising that when he gave his collection to University
College Southampton, he wished a catalogue to be published which
would make its contents known, and asked that the books themselves
should be available for loan outside the University. It is hoped that
the catalogue now printed will worthily, if somewhat tardily, fulfil
his wishes. All items in the collection may be borrowed, subject to
the usual safeguards.
To Mr A. Anderson who compiled the catalogue and to Mr E. H.
Milligan on whose preliminary work it is based, I express my thanks
for the care they have devoted to it; inevitably some errors or mis-
prints will be found, but the compilers are not responsible for any
faults or omissions in the plan. I am most grateful to Mrs Mary
Hopkirk for contributing the memoir of her father, in which, how-
ever, she gives too small a place to his life-long interest in the wel-
fare of the College and to the work he did for it; and I am deeply
indebted to Mrs Walter Frank Perkins for many acts of kindness in
connection with the transfer of the collection to the University and
the preparation of the catalogue.

WALTER FRANK PERKINS: A MEMOIR
BY HIS DAUGHTER
MARY IIOPKIRK
The Hartley Institution, embryo of the University of Southampton,
was only three years old when Walter Frank Perkins was born at
Bowling Green House, Southampton, on May 5, 1865. His parents,
,> j Walter and Mary-Louisa Perkins, belonged to an old New Forest
family whose roots lay in the Avon valley. The baby’s grandfather,
Richard Perkins, had settled in Southampton on his marriage in
1 820 and founded a large family, most of whom played a prominent
part in the civic, professional and business life of the rapidly devel-
oping town. Sir Frederick Perkins, the baby’s uncle, was mayor
when Lord Palmerston arrived from Broadlands to open the new
and comparatively humble — but much-needed — adult education
tentre.
Bowling Green House, now engulfed by the docks, was then in a
charming marine setting, and the family kept a cow in Porters’
Mead, now Queen’s Park. The children spent long summers at
Wimpson Farm in Millbrook (then entirely rural), and later at
Stoke Manor Farm, Bishopstoke, which their father rented, and it
was there that the little boy acquired his love of farming in the days
before mechanization — watching the corn cut with sickles and the
hay falling under scythes, and noting with interest that the farm
workers brought their dinners in pudding-basins tied up with red
cotton handkerchiefs, and heated them in water drawn from the
boiler of the threshing-machine.
As a small child he attended a day school kept by a Miss Alford
in Hill Lane, and later went to Forest School at Snaresbrook. Mean-
while, his father bought a seemingly derelict house, then known as
Abbott’s Park, on the edge of the town, rehabilitated it and restored
its former name of Portswood House. The family lived there until
1912.
In 1885, Walter Frank entered the Royal Agricultural College at
Cirencester, whence he emerged after two years with the Senior
certificate of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, the First
class certificate of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scot-
land (taking the first place of all candidates in agriculture), the First
ix
Printed image digitised by the University of Southampton Library Digitisation Unit
class certificate and silver medal of the Royal Agricultural Society
of Ireland, and the College’s own Diploma with honours. He passed
second out of fifty-six in the land agency suh-division examination
of the Surveyors’ Institution, and soon afterwards became a Profes-
sional Associate.
At an early age he became a bibliophile, specializing in books on
agriculture, botany and forestry which were then of interest only to
a very limited section of book-collectors, and could be obtained com-
paratively easily and inexpensively.
On leaving Cirencester he joined his father’s business as a
surveyor, and while in practice, became a Fellow of the Surveyors'
Institution, and a life member of the Royal Agricultural Society
of England, of the Highland Society, and the Royal Agricultural
Society of Ireland.
Prior to his marriage, he made long tours of Canada and the
United States, and went round the world. In 1901 he settled at
Boldre Bridge House, near Lymington. In 1910 he entered Parlia-
ment as member for the New Forest, having won the seat by a record
majority, and he was returned unopposed in the two ensuing
general elections. He retired from politics in 1922, and thence-
forward devoted himself to literary and agricultural pursuits.
He was a founder member and first President of the New Forest
Agricultural Show, and keenly interested in the history of the New
Forest; in addition to several articles on local history he published
Boldre: the parish , the church, and its inhabitants , 1927; A New
Forest bibliography , 1955; and his standard bibliography, British
and Irish writers on agriculture was first published in 1929.
Meanwhile the old Hartley Institute had become the University
College of Southampton, and in 1 928 when an appeal was launched
for funds to enable it to attain university status, Walter Frank
Perkins succeeded his brother-in-law — Sir Russell Bencraft — as
Honorary Treasurer to the College, an office he held till 1933, when
ill health compelled him to resign.
He died at Boldre in 1946, and a short time prior to his death gave
his collection of agricultural books to the university of his birthplace.

Note on Cataloguing Usage
The catalogue is an author catalogue, entry being under the names
of authors, editors, societies and government departments, and
under place in the case of institutions. Books by pseudonymous
authors whose real names are unknown are entered under the
pseudonym: anonymous books are entered under title. Noblemen
are entered under the family name, and British compound sur-
names under the last part of the name. js
The size of each book is given in accordance with an arbitrary
system of measurement over the covers:
sm. 8vo — under 7" high
8vo— 7"-9i" high
la. 8vo — 9 1"- 12" high, not over 8" wide
4to — over 9J-" high, over 8" wide
fol. — over 12" high, not wide in proportion to height.
In the case of books published up to 1700, the true bibliographical
format is added in round brackets after the arbitrary one, if the two
differ. In the case of the earlier (quarto) series of Board of Agricul-
ture surveys and of the works in quarto issued in conjunction
with them, the description (sm. 4to) is added to distinguish these
from the later series of octavo surveys.

is not that of Riall, published at Dublin in 1851, but there is no
hint as to the identity of the translator.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
Arbuthnot: A true method of treating light hazely ground. 1811.
This work, usually treated as anonymous or wrongly attributed to George
Thomson, has on p. iv: ‘The substance of [this tract] was furnished by the
joint contributions of an Association, but the whole was framed and digested
by . . . James Arbuthnot, . . . Longside, Aberdeenshire.’ Perkins (p. 152)
attributed it to Thomson apparently through a misreading of Macdonald’s
entries under 1735 (p. 209) where An Account of a threshing machine invented
at Dalkeith, attributed to Thomson, appears immediately before the present
work; Macdonald’s attribution to Thomson of An Account of a threshing
machine appears to be due in turn to a misreading of Weston, p. 62: cf.
Donaldson, p. 52, where the same attribution is made.
Bernard: Account of Britton Abbot’s cottage and garden. 1806.
Evidence from the text indicates that the ‘Society’ referred to on the title-page
and elsewhere throughout the pamphlet is the Society for bettering the con-
dition ... of the poor; this was founded by sir Thomas Bernard, and most of
its early publications were written by him. His authorship is strongly sug-
gested by a note signed ‘B’ on p. 11 of the second sequence (A cottager's
garden), and the work is attributed to him in the D.N.B. and in James Baker’s
Life of sir Thomas Bernard (1819), p. 55. The pamphlet consists of two earlier
tracts bound together with a new inclusive title-page; the latter is printed on
a leaf which is sewn round the outside of both the other gatherings, forming
a cover.
Considerations on agriculture. 1730.
The name of George Rye, to whom this work is frequently attributed, seems
to be first mentioned in Weston (p. 58) where he is listed as author of Observa-
tions on agriculture. Dublin, 8vo. 1730. Entries with similar wording in Watt,
Loudon, Allibone, Macdonald and Donaldson presumably derive from Weston.
There is no other trace of a work with the title Observations in agriculture by
Rye, and it seems quite possible that this is the work meant by Weston. The
present copy is in a binding roughly contemporary with the book, and has an
18th century lettered title Ryan on agriculture. A George Rye, of Cork,
figures in the British Museum catalogue as author of a medical work pub-
lished in 1754: the author of the present book was from internal evidence a
man of scientific training and lived in Cork; this seems to support the
hypothesis of Rye’s authorship.
Evelyn: A letter . . . concerning the Sembrador. [c. 1780].
The work is evidently a reprint of Evelyn’s letter, with a frontispiece illus-
trating the Sembrador as shewn in the print accompanying Evelyn’s article of
1670 and another illustration of it from Mills’ edition of Duhamel’s Husbandry.
A note at the foot of p. 8 indicates that the article was reprinted in consequence
of, and in opposition to, an application made to Parliament for a reward for
the invention of the Sembrador at some time subsequent to 1777.

Welchman: The husbandman’s manual, [c. 1760?]
This edition is not really the 5th, for the 4th ed. was published in 1707 (copy
in Southampton University Library) and the 6th in 1720. The present edition,
on the evidence of its typography alone, is not of as early a date as 1720, and
may well be later than the 1760 here suggested. Rudder, who was baptized
1726, was active 1749—1801 (Plomer’s Dictionary of printers, 1726—75). In
this copy, the title-page [pp. i— ii], and the Table of contents [pp. xi— xii] occur
in duplicate. The book is interleaved, and has additional ms. title-page:
The husbandman' s manual with devout meditations. Improved and enlarged, by
. 6th edition. The text of the ms. on the interleaved sheets appears to be
copy for a proposed new ed. of the work. The paper of the interleaved sheets
is watermarked 1817.
Wright, T., of Oulcl. The formation and management of floated meadows.
1808.
Confusion may arise owing to the controversy over the size of farms between
two Thomas Wrights, viz. the present author and Thomas Wright, broker, of
Mark Lane, London. Wright of Mark Lane published in 1795 A short address
to the public on the monopoly of small farms , a great cause of the present
scarcity . . . If ith the plan of an institution to remedy the evil. 8vo. (B.M.,
T.1466. (7) and T.249 (6): R.A.S.E., P.115 and P.125, p. 556), in which he
deplored the buying-up of small farms by monopolists. Large farms recom-
mended was published anonymously in 1796, but was in fact a reply Joy Wright
of Ould to his namesake’s pamphlet. On the title-page of the 1799 ed. of The
art of floating land, by Wright of Ould, the latter is described as ‘author of
Large farms recommended' . Large farms recommended is, in fact, the
Dissertation on the size of farms referred to on the title-page of The formation
of floating meadows ; in the B.M. and Roth, copies it is bound with the latter
as here.
